Key mechanics
What can kill you at Chaos Elemental, and what to do about it. For the full breakdown, see the OSRS Wiki link below.
Teleport & unequip special
It teleports you a few tiles away and can unequip up to four of your worn items — stay calm, re-equip and reposition rather than panicking.
Three attack styles
It attacks with magic, ranged and melee (max 28) — hard to pray perfectly, so keep some food up and out-DPS it.

These figures are an independent-roll estimate: they treat every kill as a separate roll at the listed rate ( 1 − (1 − p)KC). Real drops can involve guaranteed rolls, point/invocation scaling or completion rewards, so the true odds may differ. A probability is never a guarantee — even far above 90%, the drop is never owed to you. Drops without a fixed 1/Nrate show “—”.
